Like a spider to a fly she sang
I was tangled in her web
I lived to see her smile until I saw the fangs
Was I lost in a mariage or was it in me

Refrain:
American beauty, just an illusion of a girl
American beauty, spreading her image to the world
I couldn´t have tried to fight her to deny her
I´d-a died to lie beside her
Wrong or right she was mine, american beauty

Every whisper drew me closer still
Every breath we seemed to share
I couldn´t turn away she moved in for the kill
Did I give into the bait or lead it to me

Refrain

No more the same is she to blame
Or am I responsible because I came
Moth to a flame I surrendered to her pull
Wrong or right she was mine for a night

Refrain:
American Beauty, just an illusion of a girl
American Beauty spreading her image to the world
American Beauty Still I can feel her in my sens
American Beauty part of me now forever stained
I´d-a died to lie beside her
Wrong or right she was mine, american beauty
